A classic Vietnamese soup. Great for beef-lovers. The stock can be made one day in advance, and you should use fresh herbs. Not inexpensive, but lasting. There is no substitute for the elaborate stock, unfortunately.

I've never had pho before so I don't have a basis for comparison but regardless, this was really, really good! I was skeptical about the anise, cinnamon and raw beef but it really turned out well. The spices are not overwhelming and meld nicely especially after you add the fish sauce and the meat cooked enough that I didn't feel like I was eating raw meat. Definitely will make again!

gee..... i did't know it needs so much stuff..... nei....
i suppose all good tasting things do take patience and time. i will find time to make this stock. in fact i just had a bowl of it yesterday at the local restaurant. it was ok but i believe i will make a better one !
